One inbox for a nonprofit
The league publishes a single address, [email protected], on every page, plus links to its social accounts and its two registration forms. No president, commissioner, board member or division head is named anywhere.
For a registered nonprofit running four divisions across a county, an unattributed inbox is a thin public face, though it is at least an address the organisation owns rather than a personal account.
A High Cheese league page gives a league a front door that routes a message to whoever should answer it, with the join form, the fee and the schedule behind the same address.
